Greenville is still muddled with juggling 7 starters, but Cooper Adams can be phased out now. Most of these are on GameDay already, but Sunday is blank. JDE pitched last Sunday, but I think it makes sense that they'll piggyback him & Adams there.

Greenville:
Tuesday: Early
Wednesday: Mullins
Thursday: Perales
Friday: Sandlin
Saturday: Rogers
Sunday: JDE + Adams

One thing of note here is that Trennor O'Donnell has been pitching on ERC day each week, but he didn't pitch today. Wonder if they're holding him back to start instead of someone getting promoted later in the week? Seems unlikely, but I'd love to see Paez in Greenville ASAP.

Portland:

Tuesday: Bello + Helcris
Wednesday: Dobbins
Thursday: Bastardo
Friday: Wikelman
Saturday: Coffey
Sunday: Penrod

I mentioned on Tuesday that I thought Penrod after Bello, but I was looking at 2 weeks ago instead of last week. My bad.

Worcester is a bit complicated by the doubleheader.

Worcester
Tuesday: Gambrell
Wednesday: BVB
Wednesday: Uwasawa
Thursday: Alexander
Friday: Hagenman
Saturday: Fitts
Sunday: Gambrell

They'll need an extra starter this week...tentatively putting Uwasawa there because I believe Pivetta is taking his spot in the Red Sox rotation that day.

When did MassLive go paywall?

How the heck can they play B2B Worcester/Buffalo on the same day, with the first game starting at 5? Google says it's 6 hrs+ by car, and as someone who's driven that a lot (including just a few weeks ago), I'd say it's full value for that.

All the games are in Buffalo this week but Worcester gets to be the home team in the 2nd game in a makeup game from earlier in the year.

Worcester lost the away half 11-2.

BVB got lit up for 9 runs in 4 innings.

Ryan Zeferjahn made his AAA debut & allowed 2 runs in 2 innings, but they were both unearned, 3 hits, 1 balk, 1 walk & 2 strikeouts. Fastball topped out at 99.

Chase Shugart got the spot start in g2 for Worcester... which I was going to guess before I saw Uwasawa was getting sent down...& he did really well:

5 IP
0 runs
3 hits
0 bb
6 k

57 pitches, 39 strikes (68.4%)

Sal Romano pitched the last 2 innings without allowing a hit or a run with a walk.

WooSox won 4-0, flexing their home team advantage in Buffalo.
